Hanfmann vs Tabilo Prediction 31 August 2026
🔊 At the US Open, Yannick Hanfmann and Alejandro Tabilo arrive in contrasting form. The German has won three of his last five matches on hard courts, including victories over Flavio Cobolli and Benjamin Bonzi. The Chilean has managed just two wins in that same stretch, and in each of his three defeats he dropped at least one set by a margin of four or more games. The best-of-five format will demand consistent play from both men throughout.
Head-to-Head
📊 Tabilo leads the head-to-head 2-1. In 2024, the Chilean won their clay meetings in Buenos Aires (6-1, 6-3) and Rome (6-3, 7-6), while Hanfmann took revenge on the hard courts of the Davis Cup - 7-5, 6-4.

Match Results: Yannick Hanfmann
Alejandro Tabilo Player Overview
Tabilo is ranked 28th in the ATP rankings. In Washington, the Chilean beat Ben Shelton 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 before losing to Rafael Jodar in three sets. In Montreal he fell to Hubert Hurkacz 4-6, 6-7, taking the second set to a tie-break.
In Cincinnati, Alejandro beat Jan-Lennard Struff 6-3, 6-4, then ran into Jodar again in the next round and lost 2-6, 1-6. In three of his last five defeats, he has dropped at least one set by a margin of four games or more. That doesn't cancel out his ranking advantage, but it does make a small negative handicap on the favourite look vulnerable.
Match Results: Alejandro Tabilo
Key factors
- Hanfmann has won 3 of his last 5 matches on hard courts.
- The German beat Cobolli and Bonzi in Montreal.
- Tabilo has won 2 of his last 5 matches.
- Their only previous hard-court meeting went to Hanfmann.
- In his 3 recent defeats, Tabilo dropped at least one poor set in each.
Expected scenario
Tabilo will look to redirect play to his preferred wing and pull his opponent wide, though he needs to avoid handing over momentum after a run of errors - his recent defeats have featured sharp collapses within individual sets.
Hanfmann is capable of staying level through his serve and aggressive first-strike tennis. If the German maintains the quality he showed against Cobolli and Van Assche, Tabilo may not have much of a games margin even if he takes the match.
Total Games Prediction
This match could go four or five sets - Hanfmann has beaten Tabilo on hard courts before and has played well in several recent matches. That said, both players are capable of dropping a lopsided set, so the total is more sensitive to the swings within the match than Hanfmann's games handicap.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Tabilo is the higher-ranked player and a modest favourite, but his August results offer little evidence of a consistent edge. Hanfmann has won three of his last five matches, beaten stronger opponents on hard courts, and already has a win over the Chilean on this surface.
The handicap gives the German room to lose a close match and still come through, while a win covers it automatically. Our pick is Yannick Hanfmann - Games Handicap +2.5.
